Game plays fine, but thermal throttling is very noticeable after 30 minutes in the game. The framerate is never so bad that it is unplayable. High density parks (with many rides, moving parts, people [roughly 1000+]) cause a lot more lag.

Runs perfectly on base M3 MBA, 8gb ram. Some slight stuttering if temps get high, but that doesn't happen often. Controllers work perfectly.
Native
Runs perfectly natively. Gorgeous game. Small glitch - the mouse stays on screen while in-game. I wasn't able to fix it even after restarting the app. Not a huge issue but could be annoying for some.
Native
Works great. The only issue is that controller support is completely broken on Mac. Controllers work via Crossover.
Native
Runs but is quite buggy.

Works perfectly but full-screen is a bit buggy.

Works great on base MBA 8gb.

v25.0.1Works perfectly on base M3 MBA. Msync used, but default sync should be fine too.

Works perfectly on base MBA.

Works great on M1 MBP.

Runs perfectly on MBA.
Native
Works on Mac, but I needed to enable a beta to get multiplayer working. Double-check forums to see if this has been updated prior to playing. Other than that, everything worked well.

v24.0Worked perfectly under version 24.0, I imagine the same is true under 25.0.
Native
New native port works very well. Playable on a MacBook Air 8gb, but I reduced graphics settings quite a bit to ensure playability. Still playable at higher graphics/res settings though, YMMV.
Native
Runs well even on a base MacBook Air, but there can be stutters where there's a lot going on. I would recommend lowering the resolution and some graphics settings for greater playability on an Air.
Native
Works perfectly on base MacBook Air, even at high/max settings. Listed as 32-bit but runs natively.
Native
Works perfectly natively.
Native
Works well but there are some glitches with save files, steam cloud, and uninstalling the game. Just be careful about that.
Native
Runs perfectly natively. HOWEVER- controllers do not work, no matter what fix you try to implement.
Native
Does not launch natively.

Runs perfectly despite being listed as 32-bit.

Works perfectly.

Listed as being windows only, but there is a Mac port (de-listed) available. Plays well.

v25.0.1I used 'MSync' synchronization and 'auto' graphics mode. Works well, has some buffering/stuttering only when generating text descriptions/boxes for missions. I did tinker much to figure out if that stuttering could be fixed, I just enjoyed the game.
Native
Plays very well; there can be slight lag/stuttering with highly decorated levels, but it is virtually negligible (~5 fps dip). DLC also runs well, no difference in performance between base/DLC.
Native
Plays perfectly. No issues with stuttering, crashing, etc.
Native
Plays very well; some slight stuttering on load, the game can hang if the window is not in focus during launch.
Native
Plays perfectly. Virtually no stuttering - perhaps some under intense load, but that is so infrequent that it is negligible. Played at near-native resolution.
Native
Plays perfectly.
CrossOver
v25.0.1Played with max graphics, at roughly 1920x1080 resolution. Slight stuttering during high loading, and some very light thermal throttling during end-game puzzles (MacBook Air M3, 8GB) but no significant stutters, hang-ups, or crashes. Plays excellently.
Native
Played in 2023 on a MacBook Pro M1, 8GB. Game ran very well, no serious lag, no huge stutters. In-game resolution was relatively high. Mac port on Steam is de-listed but still downloadable after purchase (see also SteamDB for confirmation).
CrossOver
v25.0.1Playable, but the framerate tends to die after a while due to thermal throttling (MacBook Air M3 8GB). Otherwise playable, though laggy. Multiplayer through Steam works perfectly.
Native
Runs perfectly on MacBook Air M3 (8gb). There can be some glitches with Game Mode activation, but swiping in and out of the (fullscreen) window fixes it.
Native
There is a Mac port available on Steam (de-listed). The port is 32-bit, therefore it does not run on modern MacOS.
Native
Played on M1 MacBook Pro (8Gb) (+has a fan) and even here, it was difficult to reach consistent 30fps. Likely very hard to play on a fanless laptop. Low resolutions were necessary- still looks decent enough to play in both full screen and windowed. Low framerate does not impact gameplay much as it is very much an exploration/walking sim game with some QTEs. Note - QTEs are notably harder with lower FPS. YMMV with this game.
Native
Marked as 32-bit only on Steam, but as of May 2023, the game still worked on post-32-bit MacOS versions. Runs well, slight stuttering in sections.
Native
Runs perfectly on M3 MacBook Air.
Native
No stutters, no lag. Plays great with all DLC and without, both in fullscreen and windowed. Native port available on Steam and the App Store.
Native
32-bit binary app; Mac port is available (albeit delisted) but the game does not launch on Sequoia 15.4.1.
